Welcome back to Spawn Point, where we take something wonderful from the world of gaming and explain what it is, why it s worth your time and how to get involved. This time, we look at Spectacle Fighters , or Character Action Games if you like your genre names vague and uselessly ambiguous.
What s so spectacular about these fighters, then? It s Spectacle Fighters, a genre of mostly third-person action games that focuses on the visual spectacle of combat above all else. These are games designed to make you both feel and look like a badass through a huge range of freedom in combat options. They also tend to rate your performance with a score, rank or grade of some kind, usually from D through to S.
